DirkH’s review published on Letterboxd:
Part of Dastardly Difficult December: film nr.81
If only......
If only they had managed to continue the messed up creepiness of the opening shot.
If only they hadn't decided to trade in the first act's subtle scares for the LET'S ACCOMPANY EVERYTHING WITH LOUD SOUNDS scares.

If only it had actually been sinister.
If only the creepy kids had actually been creepy instead of looking like they had a mild rash.
If only they had left the 'How to stuff your film with Tropes' at home.
If only....
